Mystery object in sky captivates locals

This UFO in particular reminds me of the tube ships and balls war painting from 1525 AD seen here,
www.flickr.com...

As I remember, this painting has been addressed in Ancient aliens as well. They referred to it as an archive for a medieval ufo battle. The painting
depicts a crashed ship implying the battle is occurring over a given amount of time.

see through slip n slide looking balloon, clearly a clear balloon, not a run of the mill balloon though clearly a sophisticated one, for what purpose
I don't know, someone in the comment said redbull balloon? I don't know but it is technically an Unidentified Flying Object.

I can't see this being a balloon or kite of any sort. If you examine the still photograph, the two "rods" that comprise the main body of the object
are irregularly shaped and organic looking. If this was a man-made object those rods would be completely straight. There also appear to be some
spherical objects contained within the structure, and also moving around the main object (at about 0:18 to 0:22 in the video.
There are many videos of these rod-like structures, usually accompanied by or containing spheres or orbs.
I've no idea what they are, but they look organic to me.
Here's a similar video: www.youtube.com...

It does in fact look like a balloon, but at what altitude? I don't know if it has been mentioned. One other poster mentioned a 'time lapsed' photo of
an aircraft...... Possibly the top left a tail/rudder. One thing I noticed and it's based on the recent high altitude picture of the jump balloon as
it was ascending to the skydivers jump altitude, was the look of it. The jump balloon had that opaque transparency to it as well. We were seeing it
at about 18-20,000 feet and it looked very similar in color and opaqueness. Beyond that, I really don't see a significant otherworldly look to it.

Of all the reports of this sighting only one gives a compass bearing. None of them reports an elevation. This renders the reports useless. With
so many observations, it would be very simple to calculate the object's location and altitude. Somehow, MUFON "investigators" have failed to
unearth this simple information. People definitely saw something, but there seems to be a conspiracy to prevent it being investigated properly.

The video, incidentally, is a hoax. Do not confuse the hoaxer's claim that his video is of the object in question with reports of the actual
witnesses. The video is from the UK, not Kentucky.

My boyfriend called me from his house,said there was something weird glowing in the sky. this was at 4:30 pm in Chambersburg PA. I got to his
house about 5:00pm and it was still there. he had started recording it when he saw it. he also had a friend on the phone who was also looking at it.
It would get really bright then disapear and come back every min it seemed. it stayed there till about 5:30/45pm when we saw a plain and it seemed to
not come back after that! it was crazy, never saw anything like it before!!! It also seemed to be very shiny and tube like.

If you scroll down a little more than halfway, it is on the right hand side of the page. Click the camcorder icon.

The video is not very informative, but after I uploaded it I took a screen capture and zoomed in. You can see the "cigar" shape, it shows up as
solid, which is probably just a consequence of low-quality video and zooming.

Here is one more sighting that could be the same object, given from New York on the morning of the 18th:

ON THE MORNING OF 10-18-12 I WAS AT WORK AT A COLLEGE CAMPUS DRIVING, I STOPPED FOR A WHILE TO STRETCH MY LEGS. I HAPPEN TO LOOK UP TO THE SKY
AND OBSERVED A LIGHT. AT FIRST I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT, BUT AFTER A MINUTE OR SO I REALIZED IT WAS NOT MOVING AT ALL. I TOOK OUT MY CELL PHONE
TO RECORD THIS LIGHT. THIS LIGHT WAS NOT MOVING AT ALL, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GETTING BRIGHTER THEN DIMMER, ALMOST LIKE TURNING ON AND OFF A LIGHT
SWITCH OR FLASH LIGHT. IT DID THIS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MIN. THIS LIGHT JUST DISAPPEARED WHEN AN AIRPLANE HAPPEN TO BE FLYING BY. I WAS SO INTRIGUED
BY THIS I JUST NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT THIS WAS. I KNOW IT WAS NOT AN AIRPLANE NOR A HELICOPTER NOR A BALLOON. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A BLIMP BUT I REALLY
DOUBT THAT VERY MUCH.

I definitely don't think it was a balloon or kite it was seen in multiple states from Kentucky,W.Virginia,Maryland,Pennsylvania and Virginia. That's
a lot of ground to cover in a short time... that's if the object every one say is the the same. I think its a good possibility that it was.

Contrails are seen all over the country every day. I am pretty sure that if all of these witnesses were seeing a contrail, they would have recognized
it. To me, the images do not look like contrails.

Heck im looking at one of them ufo's right now 5:59 pm...the sun hits it so hard the plane is silver and glowing with 2 big trails..The plane glows
from the sun hitting them they look like there a sphere u can't no matter how hard you start see wings.
So im tellin ya i see em 24/7 exactly like whats in that video and picture's.10000%

I am not no technology adv guy lol but i know what a plane in kentucky when the sun is going down looks like and that is it lol

I dont even own a digital camera or id go outside right now and take 15 or 20 different ones before the sun goes all the way down.

It's visibility would be determined in part by its distance and altitude; that's why compass bearings and elevation are critical to any
serious investigation.
